Daltonganj, April 19: These days, the medical fraternity in Daltonganj is abuzz with speculation over who will be appointed as the next Civil Surgeon of Palamu.
Speculations are rife that the current Civil Surgeon, Dr. Anil Kumar, may be transferred to Ranchi. If that happens, the post will fall vacant, sparking widespread curiosity about which doctor will be chosen to fill the role.
Lobbying and Uncertainty Intensify
For now, it remains anyone’s guess—fueling what many here are calling a “hundred-dollar question.”

Everyone seems to have their own pick for the next Civil Surgeon, but The Jharkhand Story has chosen not to speculate or mention any names in the running. What appears certain, however, is that the current Civil Surgeon is likely to make way for a successor.
